Motor Retired After Loom Upgrade at Plant
Speight recalls starting in the number two weave room in 192 and a Westinghouse 150 horsepower motor provided main loom power. Jay Sanders notes the two phase 220 volt motor ran at 580 rpms with only one replacement part, a copper ring, since installation. Plant officials plan modernization by installing individual motors for each loom to prevent total shutdowns, with the old motor junked and the basement cleared for new use. A Palestine truce news item appears in brief.
